If you’re anything like me, you probably listen to the same 50 songs on repeat, and you’re so absolutely sick of them. Luckily, I’ve curated a list of my favorite heavy-beat songs to *hopefully* help you find some new music to listen to.
- Bazzi – Dreams
-
This heavy-bass pop hit is perfect for low-intensity runs, a heavy lift day or even hot yoga.
- Imagine Dragons – Whatever It Takes
-
Though a bit older, this song is super helpful to re-energize you during a workout you wish would just hurry up and end. The lyrics will remind you of why you’re pushing yourself to your limits.
- Roy Jones Jr. (Feat. Mr. Magic & Trouble) – Can’t be Touched
-
Two words: BEAST. MODE. I like to put this on before sprint pieces or heavy lifting. It really helps you get into that untouchable mindset (no pun intended).
- Migos – Fight Night
-
Okay, this one is a little older too, but it makes me feel so hyped when it comes on. I have never boxed harder than when my shuffle gave me this gem.
- Panic! At the Disco – Nicotine
-
I don’t know if other people would categorize this song as workout music, but I think the beat is great for me. I put this on as a pick-me-up during longer workouts or use it as more like hype music towards the beginning. To each his own.
- Three Days Grace – Riot
-
Throwback alert. This one can be helpful as a segway into a tough workout. It starts a little bit slow and gets more intense.
- DaBaby – Baby Sitter
-
This is one of four songs that I consistently leave on my running playlist. Hype mode — need I say more?
- Kanye West – Stronger
-
Not old, but a classic nonetheless. “Stronger” is a fantastic motivator when you’re running, lifting, resistance training or sprinting.
- Lil Mosey – Blueberry Faygo
-
“Blueberry Faygo” is another song consistently on my running playlist. For me, this one helps me to keep my stride a little bit longer and just bop along during a workout. It also takes off some intensity and reminds you that you’re having fun.
- Imagine Dragons – Believer
-
“Believer” is another hype-me-up song to use in your playlist. This one helps motivate me to keep pushing even when I’m super tired. Very helpful for longer or higher-intensity workouts in my opinion.
That’s all! Hopefully, you found a song or two in here to add to your workout playlist. I use a lot of these when I’m doing harder workouts and they’ve been super helpful in motivating me to push myself as hard as I can go. Enjoy!
